What Ais the Nation ?
The Average Length of
Life Decreasing.
NOT PESTILENCE---NOT FAM
INE--.ALL OUR OWN
FAULT.

MODERN COOKING AND MODERN LIv
ING have brought it on. It comes upon
US unawares. Tie patients have
pains about the chest and sides, and
some times IN the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has bad taste,
especially in the morning. a sort OF
sticky slime collects about the teeth
The appetite is poor. There is feeling
like heavy load on the stomach; some
times q faint, au-gone sensation at the
pit Of the stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel clammy.
After while a cough sets in; at first dry,
but after few months it is attended with
a greenish colored expectoration. TIE
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any rest. After
a time ne becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil fOrebodings. There
IS z giddiness, a sorRqf whirling sensa-
ton - the head when rising up suddenly.
The bowels become cos'ive; the skin is
dry and hot at Ilme TIE blood becomes
thick and stagnant; tie whites of the
eyes become tinged with yellow; the kid
ney secretions become scantY and high
colored, depositihg2 a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a splitting
up of the food, some times with sour
taste; and some times with sweetish
taste; this is frequently attended with
paIpitatl-n OF the heartaand matte
symptoms; the vision becomes impaired,
with spots before the eyes; there is
feeling of great prostration and weak
ness. All of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that nearly one
half Of our population has this disease in
some of its varied forms. Shaker Extract
of Roots (Seige's Syrup changes the
ferments of the Digestive organs so as
to convert the food we eat into form
that will give nourishment to the feeble
body,and good health is the consequence.
The effect of this remedy is simply mar
velous. Millions upon millions of bot
ties have been sold in this country, and
the testimonials in favor of its curative
powers are overwhelming. Hundreds Of
so called diseases under various names
are the result of indigestion, and when
this one trouble is removed the other
diseases vanish, for they are but symp-
toms of the real maIsdy.
Testimonials from thousands of people
speaking highly of its curative proper
ties prove this beyond doubt. Sold by
druggists.

SPEAKING of Mr.. Blaine's GONZALES
cence, the Chicago Herald says: "This
is good news. Mr.. Blaine is altogether
too interesting a figure to be suddenly
lost to American politics. Right or
wrong, profound or shallow, sincere or
trifing, he keeps things moving, and his
most persistent adversary will wish him
health and long life"

THE admirers of the theories of Henry
George are contemplating the orgsniza-
tion of q society to be styled "The anti
Poverty Society,"" As anti is generally
rendered opposed to-" this society may
be considered world-embracing for if
there is any phase of existence universally
disliked, it is that of poverty. How this
state of affairs is to be averted, Henry
George in his theories fails to explain,
and that he deems it necessary to have
some money is made clear by the an
nouucement that there will be member
ship fees and fines. Like some other So
cieties, this offers future possibility of
a defaulting treasurer.

GENERAL BUTTER has been called upon
to give an account of the spoons, and
finds it rather difficult to prove himself in
nocent or ignorant. The required testi-
mony Is in a suit for the recovery of the
sgJTd and other vaIuableG belonging to
General Twiggs. The )uth is willing to
let bygones be bysones, but Major
General figures rather ludicrously in the
role of hunting up bed and table linen be-
longing to mother. The bed made has
not proved of downy softness, and the
refraiL, "Tell US what became of the
spoons" cannot be much of lullaby.

THE mysterious murder of an unknown
girl at Railway, N. j., has developed the
fact that nearly 100 girls of that vicinity
are "missing." This is frighttul, and
would seem to indicate the necessity in
New Jersey of a society to protect young
girls. 1t is now said that the murdered
girls clothing is that of a Danish immi-
grant The articles were shown to some
Danes, and they said they were made in
Denmark. 1t is not unlikely that this is
the solution of the mystery. Perhaps the
girl had just come to this country, where
she was little known, and lost her life in
defense of her honor, while seeking some
friend or acquaintance in that locality.

United States, II. B Mille-, the president of
the as,ocia ion, said the present agitation of

only be relieved by the eXpOrtstiOn of large

After Black Diamonds.

President r. r. Cable, of the c., r. |.
& p. and his chief engineer, spent two
days in Pueblo last week looking over
the ground with a view to running a
branch of the road to that city. The
end of this road is now just three huns
bred miles from Pueblo, but surveys have
been completed to within thirty miles of
the city. The great motive influencing
the c., r. |. s. P. extension into Colors-
do is the desire to get supply of coal.
Il is now obliged to haul the fuel five
hundred or six hundred miles, and it
passes through country which furnishes
no fuel to the people who live on its line.
1t therefore needs fuel mere than any
thing else. The earnings it would receive
in hauling coal to its consumers and the
saving in its operating expenses by hav>
ing cheap coal would be of incalculable
value to the company. By going to
Pueblo, the very center of the best coal
district in the west will be struck, and,
besides, the road would thus secure its
proportion of the carrying trade to Pue-
bio, which is now seventeen per cent of
the carving trade Of Colorado.
